Actually one of my old buddies who doesn't even lift called me out on my form on this lift. I never responded, you guys can judge. I been very bad about updating my Instagram, I really don't like the whole thing. But I got keep doing it as long as I have targets I want to hit.

But anyways going back to EV, he has added zero muscle the last few months. It's all gains from going fat approaching 180. Kid is delusional.
You're rolling your chest over and turning it into a shrug at the end. Notice how as the reps progress you lose sight of your shoulder out of frame. I'm not sure what to make of that movement at the bottom after you've stopped--but I don't like it. You should be able to eccentric under control to the spot you want.

Overall diagnosis is this weight is too heavy. Reduce until you can get sets of 8 perfectly hitting each spot--it may be your lats can handle it but your core stability needs some work.

Of course the weight is too heavy, it's over 60% of my bodyweight unilaterally. I usually do 85. But it's still very strict for a heavy dumbell row. I mean I haven't seen a stricter heavier dumbbell row, in this forum. All the rows around here are dumpster grease fires. Realb has a nice row though.

There are a couple of ways to them. Very strict to kroc rows to cheat rows. For my stricts rows I do Smith machine barbell rows and sometimes seal rows.

But 40lb dumbells for a 175 pound man is never acceptable.

Well why'd you ask if you already knew it was too heavy?

Because it's acceptable to cheat a little on rows. When I go heavy I am trying to attack my core and get a little transfer to my deadlift. But I keep it extremely reasonable.

For example give us your best rows from the past. I've seen them, tons and tons of cheat.

Thats more than a little cheating, you basically just did a shrug with a bit of elbow movement at the end! It's fine for a cheat row, but haters will call you out

If you mean the pendlays for 8x285, I believe your comment was not "tons of cheat" but that I wasn't making chest contact throughout.

If you mean the 285 ones I specifically labelled "cheat rows"? Well I suppose you've got me there except;
A) That was 70 lbs short of my best
B) There is an actual purpose to that form of cheating, just like how there's an actual purpose to a push press.

I don't see a purpose to this cheating, which is why I point it out. If you are trying to attack your core, you'd be FAR better off focusing on holding your position and missing the pull by a few inches--and this would actually allow you to progress.

Even in a cheat row, one is supposed to prevent it from becoming a shrug-dive.

Work bs

Spoiler:
Another night working in the worst unit in the prison. They all know me there now. I normally don't have any problems because I treat the shot callers fairly and show them respect and check them once in a while. In any case, theres this inmate there who is called "mr.lawsuit". 15 mins before ending my shift, I take a count making sure all the inmates are locked up and are alive n responsive. I got to Mr.L cell and he was unresponsive, I was using my flashlight banging on the glass door then kicking the door very hard. I told them to open up the cell. He's laying down playing video games. I shined the light in his eyes, he goes wtf man. I said really u ****ing dick u won't answer me. He goes I don't have to answer your ****** ass go suck my dick, ******. I respond and you call me the *** I hear you deep throat the dick. Then I turn around tear down his curtains (he's not allowed to have them blocking my vision). I tore that **** down in a second very violently- yeah I was getting heated. He goes what the ****, he stands up and gets in my face. I turn my body blading my body blocking the camera and say do something. He sits back down says u ain't worth my facking time. Told them to secure the cell door. Then once the door is shut he yells at me I'm gonna do the same **** everytime I work there and next time I'm gonna throw hot piss at your face. **** u suck my dick ******."

I'm gonna have to face up with him sooner or later to stop the bs. Not something I want to do but it's a necessary evil. Write a bulll**** report and end up beating his ass. The only way to straighten out this punk ass blood member child molester. Right or wrong, it's gotta get done.

BGP,

I'm assuming he means they'd do synchronized 95 lb RDLs while staring into each other's eyes until one of them breaks from the smoldering intensity and fatigue.

That might be what the report will read, but in reality he will have loaded the inmate's bar to 105.

Sickening if true, and just exposes the blatant hypocrisy of the OLM movement.

If you were at all concerned about appearances, I'm pretty sure you'd be tossing an extra digit in front of those RDL weights, kemosabe.

Seeing EvRom RDLs with just the bar and a set of 10 pound wheels would definitely be faptacular.
